miss america Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 Awesome! Straight and to the point! The Hero's Journey workout looks really interesting. And good luck on Goal 3—I read Thrones, Kings, and Swords in about a month total, and have been "reading" Crows for oh, about... two years.

RisenPhoenix Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 I see more gifs in your future.... Anyway, nice basic challenge. I'm always reluctant when people put "apply for jobs" in their challenge, but having only 3 (as opposed to 3 a week) is pretty doable. (I learned the hard way that multiple applications a week was a bit soul crushing and missing my target here AND not getting a job put me in a bad mental place, so now I take every chance I get to tell people to not repeat my mistake.)

pwallace Posted February 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 Work is cracking down on our internet usage so this is a quick one, actually typed it out on Word before posting. Woke up late yesterday so didn't work out in the morning, got to wrok, had a shitastic day (becoming par for the course here) was snowing when I got out so skipped the gym because the roads were supposed to get bad later on. Got home with full intentions of working out to find 2 of my friends and my wife playing magic, they had pizza and beer. PIZZA AND BEER!!!! I was good and only had pizza. (5 bux into the jar) So the no alcohol portion of my challenge is still intact. Watched a couple episodes of season 5 game of thrones with the wifey, then headed to bed. Got to bed around 10:30, pup woke up up around 6 this am. Polished off the pizza (added 3 more dollars to the jar) watched an episode of white collar, did yesterday's hero journey, going to do todays this evening when I hit the gym. My father in law should hopefully be over today to fix the wife''s vehicle then I can have my Jeep back! We will see. Quote Level 0 Human, Monk 82%82% Lose 75 lbsStartin Fresh"Nothing is ever easy."
